✨ Episode Summary
Authenticity is the buzzword of the decade… but what does it actually mean to show up authentically in your business? And how do you do it without trauma-dumping, oversharing, or accidentally scaring off potential clients?
In this episode, I sit down with Diana Davis — coach for creative entrepreneurs, founder of Recess for Creatives, and one of the most real people on the internet — to talk about what authenticity really looks like in life and business, and y’all, this one gets so real.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why authenticity is really all about honesty
- How to know when to pivot, pause, or push through
- What burnout can teach you about your business model
- The difference between honoring your intuition and giving up too soon
- Diana’s Close Friends strategy on IG (and how to use it without oversharing your diary)
- Letting go of offerings that no longer serve you
- Building a brand that evolves with you
